Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so plan accordingly if traveling with an animal.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 20:00, which may be tight if your arrival is delayed.
- Location is not right in the center — While the neighborhood is pleasant, the hotel sits about 1.8 km from Nishiki Market, so some sights require a short ride or a longer walk.
- Staff rating is lower than other categories — Though many reviews praise the staff, the dedicated Staff score sits at 7.7, below the overall rating.
